When an editor is maximized, it occasionally happens that the tool bars for one of the views ends up painting on top of the editor. The problem is tricky to reproduce but I think I finally have some steps that seem to quite consistently reproduce a problem. I'll attach screen captures to show what's going on. For this example, I just start with a fresh Eclipse install, create a Java project, create a class with a main, and do a print statement in there. When this runs, it will print to the console. If the console is not the current view and the editor is maximized, this will often paint the console's toolbar over the editor. Let me attach screen shots to show it in action.
Created attachment 40872 [details] Step One We're turned to the problems view showing the layout of the UI.
Created attachment 40873 [details] Step Two We've maxmized the editor (you can see the code that will run) and are about to run that simple application.
Created attachment 40875 [details] Step Three When running, the console view becomes active and you can see that a little bit of the problem view's toolbar is painted and then all of the console's view is painted on top.
Created attachment 40876 [details] Step Four The problem isn't just painting. Those windows are really on top because minimizing and restoring the workbench leaves it in this state. This final picture shows the layout of the console. It seems to be important that the toolbar for the console view be wrapped while the problems view is not, for this problem to happen.
